Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

God knows who we will get, but it's been obvious to anyone with half a footballing brain, thta you need one ideally one or more of pace, technical ability to be able to pass to a team mate and ideally strength and height to prosper these days. We I'd ok in the summer, but as good as Kudus is, and he...

Can we shake on 0-0 now.

Scamacca scores at Anfield. Why couldn't he do it for us.

Trying to stay calm by watching golf until kick off, but feeling nervous. I am in admiration for anyone who thinks we can win tonight, I'll be very happy with a one goal defecit tonight. :scarfer:

Re: West Ham Utd v Tottenham: match thread

Hoping for a Romero red giving away an early pen, then 3 more unanswered goals. Or was I just dreaming.

But expecting something worse

Re: Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

:thdn: Soucek/JWP has to be a concern, but more worried about Gordon running at us. If Paqman tears around like at Wembley, bookings also of concern. Hope I'm wrong but it could go tits up, some may have their eyes on Europe, this year, rather than next which should be the focus. I'll take a draw, b...

Re: Where will we finish?

The positive is higher than the 13th I previously said but think 9th is as good as it gets and worried Euro defeat could see it lower.

Re: ✍️ Welcome Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

:kumb: The game v England sums him u, he has the capacity to set up chances galore, but his desire costs free kicks and often in dangerous places. At City he could play and stay further fwd and create havoc.

Re: West Ham United -v- SC Freiburg - 2nd leg match thread - 14.03.24

Left side of defence got to be of concern pace wise. Also interesting to see which of Bowen and Antonio start down the middle.

Re: The Next Few Games

Unless the players turn up, we have no chance of top 7, we need to condider the full fixtures not the next 4. They need to realise they have no right to European football. I'm pretty much resigned to Paqueta going, unless the betting issue isn't fully resolved one way or another. However, no Europe ...

Re: Everton vs West Ham United Match Thread

Only seen the highlights, so hard to be exact. A great win and we clearly look more dangerous again offensively. However, things could have been different bar some average Everton finishing and Areola. Hopefully things don't go pear-shaped in Europe, as this could effect the league form as the next ...

Re: West Ham United v Brentford : match thread

I agree with most of that. Except we weren’t resolute and strong at the back. Zouma was literally all over the shop in one of the worst defensive performance I have ever seen. We can play like that, but we need a hell of a lot better and more mobile centre back than what Zouma’s injuries have turne...
